Today’s episode is packed with important topics. We break down the government shutdown, what caused it, and why Democrats are supporting it. A major debate centers on funding healthcare for illegal immigrants, and we unpack the facts behind the issue and Governor Gavin Newsom’s strong backing of it. Susan Shelley joins me to discuss Illinois corruption, gerrymandering, and how these problems connect to California. Later, San Jose firefighter Barry Arata shares how a network of firefighters pushing back against “vaccinate or terminate” mandates was labeled as terrorism and extremism, even though they were fighting for freedom of choice and medical privacy.

Today’s episode focuses on the importance of protecting freedom and the ways Democrats are working to undermine it. We revisit Governor Newsom’s gerrymandering plan and discuss efforts to stop it. Jennifer Horn joins to talk about the new “Big Brother” Censorship Bill (SB 711), which threatens free speech, as well as Los Angeles’s $2.6 billion convention center expansion for the Olympics. Tara Thornton and Denise Aguilar, two moms and co-founders of Freedom Angels, share how they’re helping to defeat a bill targeting charter schools. It’s a full show covering where your freedom is being questioned.

Today’s episode reflects on Charlie Kirk’s memorial and the professionalism and uplifting atmosphere Turning Point cultivated. Several speeches stood out, highlighting Charlie’s personal example in the movement and his devotion to faith and family. He lived a 100% sincere life.

Susan Shelley joins to dive into California where an overwhelming number of bills are being introduced. Out of 2,397 bills introduced and 800 passed, we highlight just a few: SB 79, which threatens single-family zoning; the cap-and-trade extension to 2045, which will raise energy costs; AB 155, which seeks to censor local news; and AB 715, which fines social media platforms for “hate speech.” It’s time for accountability, transparency, and a less regulated California.
